Sheriff Joe Arpaio (in Arizona) who created the "tent city jail":

He has jail meals down to 40 cents a serving and charges the inmates for them.

He stopped smoking and porno magazines in the jails. Took away their weights. Cut off all but "G" movies.

He started chain gangs so the inmates could do free work on county and city projects.

Then he started chain gangs for women so he wouldn't get sued for discrimination.

He took away cable TV until he found out there was a federal court order that required cable TV for jails. So he hooked up the cable TV again only let in the Disney channel and the weather channel.

When asked why the weather channel he replied, so they will know how hot it's gonna be while they are working on my chain gangs.

He cut off coffee since it has zero nutritional value.

When the inmates complained, he told them, "This isn't the Ritz/Carlton. If you don't like it, don't come back."

He bought Newt Gingrich's lecture series on videotape that he pipes into the jails.

When asked by a reporter if he had any lecture series by a Democrat, he replied that a democratic lecture series might explain why a lot of the inmates were in his jails in the first place.

More on the Arizona Sheriff:

With temperatures being even hotter than usual in Phoenix (116 degrees just set a new record), the Associated Press reports: About 2,000 inmates living in a barbed-wire-surrounded tent encampment at the Maricopa County Jail have been given permission to strip down to their government-issued pink boxer shorts.

On Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing boxers were either curled up on their bunk beds or chatted in the tents, which reached 138 degrees inside the week before.

Many were also swathed in wet, pink towels as sweat collected on their chests and dripped down to their pink socks.

"It feels like we are in a furnace," said James Zanzot, an inmate who has lived in the tents for 1 year. "It's inhumane."

Joe Arpaio, the tough-guy sheriff who created the tent city and long ago started making his p risoners wear pink, and eat bologna sandwiches, is not one bit sympathetic. He said Wednesday that he told all of the inmates: "It's 120 degrees in Iraq and our soldiers are living in tents too, and they have to wear full battle gear, but they didn't commit any crimes, so shut your mouths!"

Way to go, Sheriff! Maybe if all prisons were like this one there would be a lot less crime and/or repeat offenders. Criminals should be punished for their crimes - not live in luxury until it's time for their parole, only to go out and commit another crime so they can get back in to live on taxpayers money and enjoy things taxpayers can't afford to have for themselves.

If you agree, pass this on. If not, just delete it.

Sheriff Joe was just reelected Sheriff in Maricopa County, Arizona

tbow - I agree. The federal government could take lessons from him. Sounds like he is no-nonsense, efficient and practical. Not to mention has a sense of humor Wish we had a thousand more like him!

Sorry, we are running Pat and Tom for Prez and Vic Prez But we will put Joe in as Home Land Defense

Totally agree this man should be on some ticket say as the “Director of Homeland Security.
I would vote for this man also, the men and women whom are being recognized for making a difference truly could win offices against the same old GOP/DEM business as usual crowd.
I hope that in my life time I do get to vote for people like Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Be careful though, while Sheriff Arpaio may be doing unique things that represent the ability to make tough decisions, he is doing NOTHING to solve the Illegal problem. Living here in Chandler, I have called up his office and left messages asking him what he's going to do to clean up places like Arizona Ave, etc. I never get a response, and there is no change.

If Joe was serious about taking care of illegals, he would be doing it.

He's not.

Simple as that.

What is on Arizona Ave?

Anywhere from 50-100 illegals loitering on the sides of the street and in the parking lots looking for work. Makes the place look like a slum, and causes harassment problems for regular people with flatbed trucks who just want to pull into a gas station and fill up.

We've got to get these people off our streets and out of here! What blows my mind is that the cops won't get rid of them for loitering. If they were Americans, they'd be told to leave, and if they didn't, they'd be arrested.

Maybe Chandler needs a citizens group to push for ordinances, like othr towns have done, re renting to illegals and city permits to hire day workers. Coupled with alipac type rallies--you might see more results. At least you have a Sheriff who "treats" the worst criminals, properly.

I seriously doubt the Sheriff has nearly the manpower nor the funds, or the legal authority to do much about the illegal situation in Chandler.
